Central Park's Hidden Gems

Nearly every famous destination in Central Park, from the Zoo to the Sheep's Meadow and the Reservoir, is in its southern two-thirds. The upper slice of its 840 acres remains much less crowded on a summer weekend and contains myriad hidden gems that are both historically noteworthy and just plain fun.

With summer nearly upon us, it's the perfect moment to explore the Central Park you haven't met yet.
